Photo from visiting SNK in Osaka last year while working on the Neo Geo AES+.

What a genius move by Nintendo. Re-introduce the character Fox McCloud in the Super Mario Galaxy movie and then present a remake of Starfox 64/Lylat Wars. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqNB...

even by 2026's depraved standards, what's happening here is particularly gross

Shadowgate på NES

Been on the internet for 30 years. Before signing up with an ISP, I had an old modem for BBS:s. My friend had internet before me. It was an eye opener to surf the Sierra Online chat.

Ever Wondered What Happened To Star Fox's Puppets? The Answer Isn't Good.

Batsugun tournament on Antstream Arcade. I’m currently ranked #17. Satisfied, given that I’m no maniac demon player when it comes to shoot’em up.

The legendary Super Mario Bros piggy bank. I bought it from the Swedish Club Nintendo in the 80’s.

To have been a small part of this journey is definitively a career highlight. The Future is Nov(ember 12)!

Truly a product to indulge all those '90s kids that developed a lifelong covetous lust for this system just because the price tag meant they couldn't have it (I may be among them)

"No Emulation, No Compromise, No Comparison" - The $250 Neo Geo+ AES Aims To Be A 1:1 Replica Of SNK's Classic Console.

Book release event at Spel & Sant for @gameadvisor.bsky.social about his legendary career with Sega, EA, Xbox, Warner and more, with focus on the business and commercial part of the games industry. I had the honor to write the foreword.

It Takes Two is now one of the top 50 best sold games of all times (if this Wikipedia page gets updated: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

One the best action RPG of all time. Gripping story, beautiful music, stunning pixel art, great balanced gameplay. If Terranigma would have released two years earlier it would like gained more recognition, but in 96/97 everyone was thinking 3D and looking forward to Final Fantasy VII.

Truxton Extreme! Retro Fury, Modern Firepower! Coming July 30, 2026 From Tatsujin #Truxton

Main TV in the living room is occupied so spending the afternoon with Batsugun on Switch. Such a complete Toaplan classic with beautiful pixel art graphics, brilliant music, and challenging but not too difficult.

My morning gaming session right now is Minishoot Adventures. A blend of twin stick shooter, bullet hell and Zelda. Cozy exploration with bursts of action. Really enjoying it.

Ready for that hot new game.

Playing some good old retro games on @antstreamarcade.bsky.social. Nice to see Truxton as no. 2, only behind Pac-Man.

Gate Guard Simulator looks really fun. One of the funniest game trailers I’ve seen in a long time (and with today’s massive amount of new games constantly coming, it’s not small feat). www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHn3...

I love the local Nintendo ads from the 90’s. We had a distinct Scandinavian Nintendo culture thanks to the unique material. Similarly, it’s to fun to discover the different styles in other countries. Stumbled upon this French ad promoting RPG’s and adventure games with Mario as a knight.

I remember seeing this at E3 2000. A lot of skepticism back then about Microsoft entering the console business. Sega was struggling and we had just seen Atari, SNK, Commodore, Philips, 3DO exit - would really Microsoft succeed?

As GDC starts this week, I published a story summing up the overwhelming fear stopping many international developers from coming to San Francisco this year. arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/...
